I’ve got some great news for our Cross Country Policyholders!  You can now reduce your excess on your 4×4 Insurance with Cross Country.

Paying an excess has always been one of the major issues people have with insurance.  I can understand the frustration.

When you have had an accident, or you have lost your 4×4 to theft (a.k.a. wealth redistribution), you have already suffered a loss.  Now, you have to pay a huge excess too!

Lets take a stolen Double Cab for example, valued at R279’000. Generally, your theft excess is 10% of the claim… so you’re in for R27’900 excess. Ouch.

Fortunately, you can change that now!  By adding the XS Sure option to your Cross Country policy, you can remove the Basic excess, Theft excess, as well as the Vehicle Rollover excess and Water Damage excess. This option covers up to R40’000 for those excesses, with only a flat R1’000 excess payable.

It makes sense to me… and I bet it does for you too.

To add this option to your existing Cross Country policy, simply email us and we will contact you to explain the product in detail and to confirm the additional premium.

If you don’t already have a 4×4 Insurance policy with us, click here to complete your details online, and we will provide you with the biggest range of 4×4 Insurance quotes in South Africa.

As with all policies, terms and conditions apply.
XS Sure does not cover additional / cumulative excesses and voluntary excesses

Some awesome customisation on this Toyota Prado!

If you’re in the market for a double cab 4×4 there are a lot of options. Obviously if you speak to a Toyota fan – he will tell you to buy the Toyota Hilux. Just the same as the Nissan fan, who will tell you to buy the Nissan Navara.  But what about the Isuzu? And don’t forget the VW Amarok.

So many options!

Before you make up your mind have a look at the video below, and see what 12 independent judges thought of the competitors in this contest.

If you’re going away in your 4×4 this holiday season to Sodwana Bay, please take note of this warning, which we have just received from our specialist 4×4 insurance underwriters:

An undesirable element of people are operating in the “Stop and Go” road construction area between Pongola and Sodwana. Their modus operandi is to jump on to the back of the boat or trailer and remove equipment and valuables.

Please secure your equipment and keep your caravan doors and 4×4 trailers locked where necessary. Be especially vigilant if you are travelling with your 4×4 trailer, caravan or boat on that stretch of road… or any other stop and go area, for that matter.

If you’ve got a specialised 4×4 insurance policy from us at www.4×4-insurance.co.za, then you’re bound to have better insurance cover for your 4×4, and valuables than anyone else on that stretch of road, but still… why start your holiday with an unnecessary inconvenience? Keep your eyes open, be careful, and warn those travelling with you to watch out too.

And before you leave for that well deserved 4×4 holiday, please check the wheel bearings on your 4×4 trailers, caravans and boats.

Travel safely and happy holidays from the team at www.4×4-insurance.co.za!
